Digestive System 3 Flashcards
LUQ
jejnum - 2 or 2.5 m
Small intestine
First part of small intestine is the duodenum
RLQ
Ileum 3 - 3.5 m
Functions of small intestine
mixes and propel chymes, digestion, absorption. 90% of absorption happens in small intestine
Surface area of SI
circular folds, intestinal villi, microvilli
Small intestine histology
1-2 L juice a day
Duodenum, retroperitoneal, iloum, jejunum by retroperitoneal
Circular folds
Mucosa and submucosa
Intestine villi
like finger sticking out
Collagen cells to the base
Blood capillaries
Lymphatic capillaries are found in mucosa. important because of lipids
Absorptive cells
Extension of the cell membrane, microvillous border secret enzymes lysozymes
Hormones in Small intestine
hormones - enteroendocrine cells
Lysozyme phagocytosis
Paneth cells
Large intestine
Cecum, colon, rectum
Ileal orifice
between large and small intestine
- Ileocolic and ileaceceal lips - ileal papilla smooth muscle
Vermiform appendix
worm like 5 to 10 cm long, covered in mesoappendix serious membrane around ileum
-Lymphoid nodules function of immunity
Ascending colon
on the right side of the boyd descending colon is on the left side.
Attaching them together is the transverse colon
Descending colon
goes down to iliac crest down to rectum (15 cm) then to anal canal and rectum
The fold in large intestine
Sigmoid colon, retropereoneal goes down to S3 vertebrae
Pouches
Haustra (sleeve)
Teniae coli
3 bands of longitudinal smooth muscle located around the wall
Function of large intestine
Movement of chyme to rectum, digestion, absorption, form feces, defecation,
omental appendix
extend teniae coli down to large intestine
Flatus
Farts
Large intestine histology
No enzymes - absorb water and mucus
Intestinal gland
absorptive cell mucus
Longitudinal layer
layer of muscle continuous sheet
Anal Canal
Rectum, anal canal, anus
Anus
is the opening
Anal canal
lined by longitudinal mucus folds
Mucosa and submucosa
Has alot of vascularity
Hemorrhoids
swollen decimals full of blood - internal or external (diet, hydration)
Internal anal sphincter
smooth muscle (involuntary)
External anal sphincter
skeletal muscle (voluntary)
Order of Anus
Mass peristasis - distention of rectum - defecation smooth muscle and skeletal muscle contraction - Relax internal sphincter - Relax external sphincter - Defecation
